Digital Dividends from mo .. is it worth?


enter into force from today package for the reform of EU telecom .
born a sort of European TLC Authority, BEREC.
We'll see!
Italy is in a tragic delay on everything, especially on universal access to broadband, and has already agreed to use the digital dividend to redo only TV ... .. Ugh!
Reference to part of the package for Telecom a clear understanding of the mock Italian and my indignation about: the use of radio spectrum.
remember that the Directive states that:

.... a series of scenarios of supply and demand of
frequency spectrum for a period of 15 years from 2012. The result is that the opening of a portion of the digital dividend, ie the sub-band 790-862 MHz, services wireless broadband by 2015, all Member States and in conditions of common use, would create added value of at least € 17 billion, compared to what would be achieved by individual national initiatives, a value that could reach 44 billion euro according to the pace of development of wireless broadband services in the sub-band.
For this reason, the study indicated that the opening of sub-band 790-862 MHz, which already are considering a number of Member States, is the most pragmatic way to get immediate benefits of the digital dividend .

And this is something I care much more than the needless multiplication of national TV!
But in the directive are also INTERSTITIAL whitespace between the bands of the spectrum! And that would open in the native country of the revolution of the Marconi cognitive radio (a theme dear to this blog!)

(seventh item)

take a position common on the possibility of using the cd. "White space" as a dividend. The Member States are invited to cooperate with the Commission to evaluate the possibility to make available "white space", ie the spectrum of unoccupied areas covered by broadcasting, for use by radiotecnologie cognitive basis of a set of requirements Technical common in Europe.
